Hope Hicks tapped to head communications for New Fox

Share:

Hicks, 29, joined the Trump administration in January 2017 after working as press secretary and communications adviser to Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. In her new role, the Times reported, Hicks will relocate to Los Angeles and work in close concert with Murdoch's eldest son, Lachlan Murdoch, who is poised to become next chairman and chief executive of Fox.

The former model also reportedly acknowledged during the committee hearing that she told "white lies" on behalf of Trump, an admission that would cast doubt on future statements on behalf of the White House.

During the nine-hour interview, Ms Hicks acknowledged that she had occasionally told "white lies" for Mr Trump, but she said she had not lied about anything relevant to the Russian Federation investigation.

The appointment of Hicks highlights the ties between the Trump White House and Rupert Murdoch's media empire.

Politico reports that Hicks's new position is officially executive vice president and communications director at Fox. He is known as such an avid viewer of Fox that anchors and political guests have even sometimes sought to address Trump directly from its programs in attempts to influence his thinking.

Ms Sanders tweeted that Fox would not find anyone smarter or more talented than Ms Hicks.

Numerous members of the public relations staffs at network TV news divisions have White House and Beltway positions on their resumes.

Fox is reorganizing following the sale of most of Twenty-First Century Fox's entertainment assets to the Walt Disney Co.

The new Fox will include Fox News, Fox Sports, the Fox network and TV stations.
